Welcome to the Wiki for Penrith Selective. Come in, sit yourself down and make yourself comfortable. There are no haters here. Look at the list of topics on the left and explore at your will.


This is just for fun, but I have to share this. I just love it.


Note to Everyone -

I have received some information about some free resources and courses you can access on the website:
ecriture.com.au
Have a look, follow the links and especially note the free text resources there. There is some good analysis which might be quite helpful to you.

Now that you are studying your Area of Study 'Belonging'

I hope that you are working on your creative writing belonging stories/drafts. It is really important that you get a teacher to look over your work and check that the direction you have taken is appropriate and that your writing appeals to your target audience (in this case, HSC markers!).

Belonging essays should have TWO related texts ready for the final exam this year.
A little effort now will reduce the pressure considerably as we move closer to the exams.
